Esme had been there the entire time, she just hadn't been ENJOYING herself. To put it mildly.

As someone terrified of birds, the prospect of being in the room with them had made her feel so overwhelmed that she had considered skipping the lesson. The only reason that she hadn't was that she thought that MAYBE this was an opportunity to try and get over her fear.

So far it wasn't working.

With shaking hands she had cleaned her equipment, glancing at the owls suspiciously as she did so. Even though they were in cages she couldn't be sure that they wouldn't get away. Her owl was the only one that she trusted. Great, I'm becoming paranoid. Shaking her head, she forced herself to focus on what Professor Newton was telling them. If she wasn't feeling so scared and jumpy right now she probably would have enjoyed the lesson. As it was she just wanted to get it over with.

Grabbing everything that she needed from the front, Esme took a deep breath. Hands still shaking, she added 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... cups of water to her cauldron. It was a miracle that she hadn't gotten any over her work area or lab coat and gloves. Sighing, she lit the burner with a small flame and waited five minutes.

If she got through the lesson she felt that she could do anything.
